What else could touch a screen door and taste lemonade?
What else could come back from a war and not come back, but still try to live, still try to lullaby?
When a human dies, the soul moves through the universe trying to describe how a body trembles when it's lost, softens when it's safe, how a wound would heal given nothing but time.
Do you understand?
Nothing in space can imagine it.
No comet, no nebula, no ray of light can fathom the landscape of awe, the heat of shame, the fingertips pulling the first gray hair and throwing it away.
I can't imagine it, the stars say.
Tell us again about goosebumps.
Tell us again about pain.
You both do.
I'm so grateful for all you do.
Okay.
It's an extensive one.
I'll send it your way after.
Thank you.
Thank you for this gift.
Thank you so much for doing this.
I felt a little nervous for you.
I knew I was throwing you into a very vulnerable conversation and I just, I knew you were perfect for it.
So thank you.
